Valdez

Valdez is Street Punk band from Bristol, England. Since their conception in 2001, the band's history has been long and, at times depressing. In August 2004, the entire (by this time horribly stagnant) band (minus Chris) quit, leaving a huge task in finding new members, but at the same time, the opportunity to revitalise the band and take it in a direction which Chris had always wanted, but had never been able to achieve, with any previous line-ups. Immediately recruited were Matt Spartan, at the time playing in the Spartans and fresh from a three year stint in Welsh punk outfit Four Letter Word. Joining him on axe duties was Jamer Hendrix, of the Surfin' Turnips, with Jamer's turnip bandmate Matt Pants filling the drum stool duties. The band re-worked the entire set, scrapping the 'art punk' for which the band was well known and replacing it with a unique brand of 80s hardcore and modern day political punk, akin to Negative Approach meeting The Unseen in a vile brawl.
